I had a note from someone that I read today who asked about getting to know me as a person better. I thought this was a pretty good idea! I think a lot of people see me as just a cosplayer, just a youtuber, or even just as the characters I cosplay and act as. Obviously, this is far from the truth. Cosplay is just a small part of my life compared to everything else I've done and wish to do.

I found this good Q&A on the Humor That Works website, so figured I'd use it to help people get to know me... if you want to! XD Feel free to steal this quiz and use it yourself.

Favorites Questions

== What was your favorite food when you were a child?I was a really fussy eater when I was a kid. I pretty much lived on spreadable cheese sandwiches and biscuits (cookies, to you Americans)!

== What's the #1 most played song on your iPod?Oh lord... I kind of go through phases of listening to one song a million times until it bores me XD I guess a recurring one would be "This Ain't A Scene" by Fall Out Boy, or "Scream" by Janet and Michael Jackson.

== What is one of your favorite quotes?"In the dead of night, you and I grab some provisions, and hijack one of those... loooooongboats..."

== What is your favorite body part?I'm not sure. I quite like my eyes, I guess? Or my hips/waist. I love having a curved figure.

== What sound do you love?You know the weird sound you get if you flick or tap a balloon? I love that!

If Questions

== If you could throw any kind of party, what would it be like and what would it be for?A surprise birthday party for a friends milestone birthday. I *love* surprise parties, whether I'm arranging it or just part of it. It'd probably be set at their house, where they least expect it, and include lots of disco lights.

== If you could paint a picture of any scenery you've seen before, what would you paint?The sunset in Ibiza. Despite it's reputation as merely a clubland... it has a beautiful sunset.

== If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?23. "Nobody likes you when you're tweeeenty-three..."

== If you knew the world was ending in 2012, what would you do differently?Nothing.

== If you could choose anyone, who would you pick as your mentor?This one was really hard to decide. In the end, I figured Dumbledore. He's very wise, but also admits to human error. I really respect the struggle his character deals with when trying to decide between personal happiness, the happiness of others, and the greater good.

== If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?A Michael Jackson live concert. Any. I don't care which, or from which point in his career. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I'll never see him live.

== If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?I'd love to be able to do kickass stunt-like gymnastics! Unfortunately, the asthma would forever make that impossible

== If you had to work on only one project for the next year, what would it be?Ooooh, tough. I'd love to make the Diva from Fifth Element. Working on that for a year would be awesome.

== If you were immortal for a day, what would you do?That depends. Would I be immortal, but still be able to feel pain? Or would I be indestructible in all senses? If so, I'd jump out of a plane. I'd love to feel the REAL sensation of freefall.

== If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?If I *had* to? Uhm... Raine. Though it doesn't suit my surname at ALL.

== If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?Michael Jackson.

== If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?Buy a house! Nothing huge. My ideal house would be detatched, rural but not too far from a London trainline if possible, with at least two or three bedrooms.

== If you were reincarnated as an animal/drink/ice cream flavor, what would it be?Deep Sea Anglerfish (to see what the hell is down there!), Diet Coke, and Choc Fudge Brownie.

== If you could know the answer to any question, besides "What is the meaning of life?", what would it be?I've always known what question I'd choose. "Is there anything beyond this life, be it spiritual, metaphysical or otherwise?"

== If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?Mystique, from the X-Men

Personal Questions

== Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?Since cosplaying Bellatrix, a few people have said I look like Helena Bohem Carter (or however you spell her name). In the past, a few of my ex's friends said I looked a bit like Penelope Crus.

== What do you want to be when you grow up?I don't want to grow up? XD But srsly, I don't care. I would like to be comfortable enough financially to not have to worry about day to day life, and in a job much like mine is now, where it's 9-5, but very laid back.

== When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?Gaming, or RPing.

== What would you name the autobiography of your life?"Not What I Expected"

== Have you ever had something happen to you that you thought was bad but it turned out to be for the best?Had a friend I made the mistake of trusting turn out to be a complete and utter shithead. Was upsetting at the time, but in the end, I figured it was best to find out and cut away from them instead of carry on without knowing.

== What was one of the best parties you've ever been to?I've been to a few. One of the most memorable ones was at an old schoolfriends house at New Year. I lost all feeling in my legs, and we were up until sunrise watching The Magic Roundabout. It was awesome.

== What was the last movie, TV show or book that made you cry or tear up?The Matrix: Revolutions

== What's the hardest thing you've ever done?Come out to my parents.

== What was the last experience that made you a stronger person?Cut off all ties, both in real life and online, to a person who wasn't good for me in the past, and was still haunting me slightly in the present.

== What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?Heh, a lot. I don't want to go into too much detail. I went from being a loser kid to... something of a tearaway. I sorted my shit out though, and I think I'm the better for it.

== When was the last time you had an amazing meal?I went to the Harvester when my friend Brianna was in the UK, with Charlotte and Jenn. I had a REALLY nice jambalaya.

== What's the best/worst gift you've ever given/received?I think one of the most thoughtful gifts I've been given was by Gurlow at Metrocon recently~Worst gift.... I can't actually think of one!

== What do you miss most about being a kid?The lack of stress. Those were the days when your biggest worry was how the hell to get your paws on a shiny Charizard card. I miss those days.

== What is your first memory of being really excited?The night before our first ever family trip to DisneyWorld.

== What was the first thing you bought with your own money?I buy EVERYTHING with my own money! Today, it was a packet of gum and some redcurrants.

== When was the last time you were nervous?Tuesday, when Jenn called in sick for me to my work.

== What is something you learned in the last week?That Steve Jobs only had a $1 annual salary.

== What story does your family always tell about you?There are lots. My dad enjoys telling everyone about how, when I was a little kid (like 3 or 4), I threw a petanque boule (a French game of boule using metal balls a bit bigger than a tennis ball, and up to just under a kilo in weight each) directly up into the air.... then watched it as it fell back down onto my own head.

== At what age did you become an adult?I never really did.

Random Questions

== Is a picture worth a thousand words? Elaborate.Sometimes. I guess that depends on the picture. I think the best thing to convey huge amounts of thought or emotion is through music or actions.

lol that was pretty awesome! it cool getting to know about you, i mean the only time i learn anything is when i get online or watch youtube vids at my friends house (i still have dial-up so youtube is out of the question lmao!! XD)

''Peasant wagon'' <== This has just been added to my vocabulary! Well, I'm quite happy you posted that before coming to Montreal! I was actualy looking foward to it to know you a bit better if I ever had the chance (tough I highly it would be possible with all the rules and people ehh...) cause you look like a very nice person :3 Anyway, now, I know a bit more abut you as a human being! o/ Congrats on you and Jenn by the way!

that's so wonderful that I know more about you and less about your cosplay life. I wish I had close firends like and and someone to love so strongly as you love Jenn. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I loved reading more about you. And, as I commented on your picture, you now remind me even more of my sister XD And I was excited to know you share some interests with me. I admire you a lot, so knowing this kinda made me giggle. Erm, but anywhosadoodle, I always figured you were something like this actually O_O You play your cosplays well, but there always seemed to be an underlying sense of "this isn't the real Kelly". And now I sound like a weirdo >o<

my parents always tell the story of how i used to hide food in my closet and the one where (recently) i broke my keyblade after fixing it for the millionth time and it broke the key bit fell onto my head and made a BONK noise :C

wow your an amazing person rlly honestly i wish i would have been strong about moving on from someone..

i was in love with the same person for almost five years...but well...nothing good would come out of it :/ even when i think about them now it just brings alot of disappointment because not only did i care for that person, i looked up to them...which was the biggest mistake i ever made my whole lifenow im doing my best to move foward and just be content with what i have

ive done soooo much stuff when i was little..i rlly lost count but i promise you it make you laugh so hard...xD it made my friends laugh

your relationship with jenn reminds me so much of two couples over here..my cousin and her boyfriend and my best friend with hers..their love seems like it will never have an ending which is amazing and i love that yours and jenns are the saame thing and thats freaking bomb! *thumbs up*

i hope in the near future my friends and i will be able to meet you guys at a con

Brilliantly done, it's really nice to get to know the person behind the magic. I love learning the histories of people I would love to meet. I sat the other night thinking of these questions in relation to myself and had to stop because I realized I didn't even know ME. It's amazing to see someone who knows themselves. Well done, I hope your life is filled with more joy.

This is soo cool, I really think you're an amazing person!I do horse riding too XD (I always got bullied 'cause of it)And I did so so many stupid things as a kid (I still do) and my parents always remind me of those things when I have friends over I'm really happy you did this Q&A 'cause I wanted to get to know you better as a PERSON, not as the characters you're cosplaying Maybe I'll do this as wel. Some time...I'm feeling kinda down at the moment, friends abandoning me and feeling very sick and coughing so hard my back is hurting, my grades are dropping...I didn't intend to throw all my problems onto you, but I just have to get it out and I feel sorta comfortable around you so yeah...I'm so sorry if I'm annoying or such but I hope you understand.

This has been very awesome to read! When my friend showed me Demyx Time, I instantly fell in love with you and Jenn as cosplayers but now I can say that I'm awed by who you are as a person! XP Hope that didn't sound too cheesy! I swear though, the best part of the journal to me was when you said the best think about waking up is waking up next to Jenn! I started to spazz, which is pretty usual for me!

Anyways, you are so freaking awesome! And I'm going to admit it, yes I am a Kelly fangirl! XP

I've thought of getting to know you better a lot of times... but I figured you were to busy, or that I would be a pest... A lot of people dislike me, you see... ^^,I got a strange ability of reading people just by looking at a few of their actions, and this meens I didn't mess up here... Sorry.. I'm not trying to creep you out... ^^,

I really enjoy the fact that you want people to know you as more than just an amazing cosplayer and a hilarious youtuber. It makes me respect you so much more than I did before. It takes a lot of confidence to be an avid cosplayer and not take any crap from people who don't understand it.I'm also glad that your relationship with Jenn is still strong. It gives me hope that, no matter how old I am or what happens in my life, as long as I am willing to love and be loved in return, I will be with my Lovey~

I guess I'm just surprised that you're a nice, down-to-earth person who reminds me a little of myself.

I really like knowing more about you ('cause I iz yo stalkah!) and you're just a really interesting person. Also, I relate to you a lot. Having to cut ties with certain people has been a part of me for my entire life, and it's a very hard thing to do. It's hard when people look at me with my short red hair and goth-y clothes and say, "You're weird!", but then I just think about being NOT weird... and shudder. I can't think of being normal, because it's boring. I work at a retired morgue, for crying out loud. I cross-play, I like archery, horseback riding, and fire arms, and also hate bugs and love painting my nails black. I wear studded wristbands, and play guitar. I listen to ALL types of music. And I'm a writer, and love nothing more than reading a good book. I study crystals and stones, and am in LOVE with video editing. No one ever thinks to put all of these things together, and when they do, they can't comprehend. They hate to think that being different could be good. For you and I, and most other people like us, it is.You've inspired me, and even helped me out of a semi-depression when my aunt and uncle died, and you probably didn't realize it. I look at you and say, "If she could go through what she has, you can do it too." And that fuels me to not be afraid to be who I am, no matter how different from others that is.
